/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat uid=nobody,gid=windows,umask=002 0 0
This will mount the directory so that all files and directories are owned by "nobody", group "windows", and permissions of 0775.
I think that's essentuially what I have, and it's fine for those files that are *there*, but I find it interferes with newly created files - try touching a file and checking it's perms. With my set up, it's created with group perms of read only (i.e., it's set the FAT32 read-only bit).
I can only assume it's something odd to do with me not being 'nobody', and it only using the user perms to map to the freshly created 'read-only' bit. Maybe.
